Girls aren't the only ones hurt by being objectified

[Kim]

Beauty standards are shitty, but they aren't objectification.

Yes, they apply to both men and women, but they are much more strict on women with much more toxic and harmful results.

For every man with an eating disorder, there are two women with one.

That's just among adolescents.

Objectification is the way people are perceived not as human but as objects or as means toward an end. How men view women as tools for their sexual satisfaction and other wants, thus contributing to the epidemic of rape and abuse of women. Which yes, does happen to men as well, but the majority of the time that men are raped and abused it's by men.

Sexualized women are quite often perceived as tools. Sexualized men are still quite often perceived as people. And there's research that backs that up! Another link.

Let's not even get into the degree to which women are bombarded with objectified women simply for using the internet. Play now my lord! Eager ladies are waiting for you! Tits! Ass! Disclaimer: This Is A Game Advertisement

But then jackasses just write it off as sex sells. But if it's as simple as that why aren't they marketing to women's sex drives?

If you wanna complain about beauty standards, that's a perfectly valid thing to be upset about. I agree with tearing them down. They're bullshit and gross and terrible.

What I dislike is that rather than try and start some meaningful conversation about a serious issue, your thread opening is just how nobody cares about your manpain.

And when your thread is about how nobody cares about your manpain, you aren't exactly asking for a worthwhile conversation in the first place.
